NRC Complete and Balanced Meal
NRC stands for National Research Council, they are a private and non-profit organization that sets out what essential nutrients your dog needs at both the macronutrient and micronutrient level in order to remain in optimal health.
Did you know the general guideline of feeding 2-3% of your dog’s body weight may not be the most accurate way of gauging how much to feed your dog? It could lead to large discrepancies in nutrient levels due to the dog's energy intake and the food's energy density. Always follow the feeding chart specified by your food provider or ask them for one!
Grass-fed Beef - Iron rich protein that contains lower cholesterol-raising fats.
Cage-free Duck Neck - Full of essential fatty acids, calcium and phosphorus.
Organic Oats - High in fiber and contains vitamin B which helps maintain a healthy coat.
Sunflower Lecithin - Strengthens the nervous system, great for Heart and Liver health. Regular sunflower lecithin supplementation may help prevent or treat canine cognitive disorder (doggie Alzheimer’s disease) due to the presence of choline.
